I tried the rubbing alcohol today and it work a little. It's not as bad as it was, but you can still see it if you look. I guess It'll just wear off. Not too sure I want to put peanut butter on my baby...

I'll see you all this Saturday at Ingles at 11:00 am sharp! I'll have maps, if you need to know how to get here let me know!

Hey comet5o4 you can get Wesleys Bleach-white at most autoparts stores. Don't worry it won't turn your plastic white. I have used it in the past for getting wax off plastic parts.

Put some on a clean rag, apply to area, then use soft brush.

Just be careful of the paint, if it sits for a few minutes it will dull the clear.

We've all been drafted for a project at church that will take until early afternoon on Saturday, so we will not be able to go on the run after all. Very disappointing. Ya'll have fun and be careful. See ya next time...

(Ben: That's MINIRee and DrkTower off the list...)

Color me BRG with envy! I live here in Asheville, just ordered my HC Clubman on the 15th, but she won't be here till July.

I'm hoping I'll be able to join y'all again this summer, or maybe a fall trip to Boone?

Yes you missed a really good drive and we had some new faces and some old ones came and renewed their membership and we had some fun! Did't get wet til almost end of run. I hit some pretty hard rain towards Hendersonville and when I got to Charlotte 5 miles from home was hammered with rain and HAIL!!!! Everything looked o.k., didn.t get home til 7pm due to the weather but the trip was worth it! I couldn't resist stopping in Gastonia at R.O.'S BBQ and had a couple burgers with BBQ Slaw on them. No wonder I can't lose weight. Thanks to everyone who came out and I really enjoyed meeting you all and great pictures as usual Richard.

ben...you did a fabulous job of planning this trip. the pacing, the route, and the scenery was perfect! and even the long wait at the restaurant wasn't bad given the good company. thanks for another great day and wonderful pictures to remember the good times! Floyd and I (Sharon) really enjoyed ourselves.

Thanx you guys, it wouldn't have been anything without you all there! Great pics! We'll definitely be planning something for the summer, I have some ideas... Yes, I have facial hair... I'm not sure whether or not to keep it, so I go back and forth...

I love how Richard makes the basket specials a part of every trip, to show us what we missed!

BTW, A GP? Too cool! Is that the one that was Eurofest or whatever it was at the BMW PC whenever that was--sorry, it's all running together! ;-) Anyway, congrats on that lil' baby to whoever that is...

Hope to hit another run with you guys this summer, schedule is just wacky...
